Cat lovers will go to extreme comfort to make sure their felines can live their lives in comfort and style from cat ladders to cat beds. It’s true maybe these independent animals don’t need us as much as we need them, especially when it comes to finding a place to relax – after all most surfaces are prime spots for a good cat nap – but that didn’t stop one Florida man, Chris Carlson from creating a special place just for his cat. Pre-KPA teacher Julia Carlson shared her husband’s creation in an online post and people everywhere think it’s the cat’s meow.

This is Ollie, the newest member of the Carlson family and proud owner of his own custom cat bed

Julia wrote on her Facebook page that the cat was a surprise from Chris: “Chris always said we’d never get a pet because they’re too much work and commitment. Well, he told me he was going grocery shopping and instead he went out and adopted this guy.” Not only did her husband buy the cat but, to the surprise of Julia, created a special place in their home just for Ollie to catch some zzz’s.

“Husband said he was going to make a bed frame. I thought it was for our new mattress…. It was for the cat”

“Guys, Chris said, ‘okay I’m gonna go make the bed now,’ and I’m like yessss we’ll finally have a bed frame for our new mattress. I check on him an hour later and he has built A MINIATURE BEDFRAME AND SIDE TABLE FOR THE CAT. I’m dying.”

Chris is not alone with his creative cat ideas, companies and pet owners seem to always think of innovative ideas for the perfect feline bed and for a good reason. Healthy cats spend 16 to 20 hours per day sleeping. They experience both non-REM and REM sleep (the kind where you can observe them having cute dreams).

No matter how comfortable the cat bed is don’t expect them to sleep through the night. While cats can eventually fall into a sleep pattern that aligns with that of their owners, cats are naturally nocturnal creatures. Their ancestors would sleep during the day and hunt all night.
